First Step to Recovery....

As most of you know, I have never been the most self confident or self assured person in the world. Lately, that has only become more true for reasons I won't get into. Well...because I feel so awful about myself, I have been carrying that awfulness over into all the other aspects of my life. After talking to a wonderful friend who is having the same problem, we made a pact to make it better. After all I am the only one who can make myself happy right?! We promised that we would make a list of things we need to change/improve to make ourselves happy and vowed that we would support and encourage each other until we have accomplished these goals. We figured it would be better for us to write them down and remind ourselves often of what we want to accomplish so we are posting them on our blogs. Thanks for being such a great friend Emilie!!

So here is my first list....
1. Realize that all a weight scale can show me is a number and I am WAY more than a number!
2. Stop worrying about what I think people think about me.
3. Recognize that I am a good mother and wife.
4. Stop comparing myself to every other woman in America.
5. Trust Chase.
6. Read at least one book in the next 30 days about building a strong marriage.
7. Tell Chase each day that I love and appreciate him.
8. Plan at least one date night each month.
9. Put the following saying up somewhere I will see it frequently..."How do I expect everyone else to feel good about me if I don't feel good about myself?!"
10. Take chances!
